Authorities raided the Lion Savera sauce plant in Dehri, Rohtas, found dirt and suspected hazardous chemicals, and sealed the unit pending investigation.
The administration in Rohtas district conducted a surprise raid on the Lion Savera sauce factory located at Dehri on the Son River. Inspectors discovered significant dirt accumulation and substances they described as potentially hazardous chemicals. The factory's operating licence does not include permission to produce chili sauce, which raised further concerns about regulatory compliance.
Samples of the sauce were collected for laboratory analysis to determine the exact nature of the chemicals present. The authorities have ordered the plant to remain sealed until the investigation is completed and any violations are addressed.
The move reflects growing scrutiny of food‑processing units in the state, especially those that may pose health risks to consumers. Officials have not disclosed the identities of the personnel involved in the raid or the next steps pending the lab results.
